How to Stop Thinking

What do you want in life. Every AUTHOR asks you this. What do you expect to get in life. You want happiness. You want confidence. It's all there in you. Then why you feel you don't have it. Because at some level inside you feel that you don't have it. You feel that you are not satisfied. You follow every self help book you know and still you feel dissatisfied. Still you want more of what you wanted earlier because you don't have it yet.

In Socrates Dissatisfied, Weiss argues against the prevailing view that the Laws are Socrates' spokesmen. She reveals and explores many indications that Socrates and the Laws are, both in style and substance, adversaries: whereas the Laws are rhetoricians who defend the absolute authority of the Laws, Socrates is a dialectician who defends-in the Crito no less than in the Apology-the overriding claim of each individual's own reason when assiduously applied to questions of justice. It is only for the sake of an unphilosophical Crito, Weiss suggests, that Socrates invents the speech of the Laws.
